The Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon Raises Funds
The Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon (VRCCO) has launched a unique initiative where its veterinarians have obtained permits to serve alcohol at Ponch’s Place, the organization's on-site beer and food truck pavilion. This effort is part of the Veterinary Referral Centre's 'Meet the Vet' nights, where veterinarians tend bar to raise funds for the VRCCO Care Fund, which supports medical services for pets in need of financial assistance in Central Oregon.
This initiative aligns with VRCCO’s core values of offering personalized experiences, exceeding expectations, fostering teamwork, and emphasizing compassion and education. The 'Meet the Vet' nights serve multiple purposes — aside from raising funds, they also serve as a space for educational opportunities for pet owners and create a relaxed environment for community members to interact with veterinarians outside of the clinical setting.
